> Gnome just removed the middle-click paste option. Is that because they fixed the clipboard situation on Linux, and there's a universal, unambiguous way of cut and paste that works across every application? No. It's because middle-click to paste is an "X-ism." This is just demagoguery and unserious.

They disabled it by default. You can enable it if you want.

We all know that that's a precursor to removing a feature entirely because "telemetry shows it isn't being used".
